Intercessions / Bidding Prayers for 19th Sunday of the Year

Nineteenth Sunday of the Year

The Priest introduces the prayers:
Jesus is the living bread who comes down from heaven. Let us pray that he may live in and and we may live in him.

Reader:
We pray for the Catholic Church in all the world,
that the Holy Spirit will guide and inspire the leaders of the Church, and render all her enemies powerless.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

We pray for those who do not have enough to eat:
that governments and aid agencies may come to their assistance.
 Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

We pray for the sick and those who care for them,
that those who feel God is distant from them may realise that he alone is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

We pray for those departed this life,
that those who have left this life in faith and fear may find eternal happiness in heaven.
Lord, hear us. Lord, graciously hear us.

Now let us pray with Mary, Mother of all Christians: Hail Mary.

We make our own prayers in moment of silence.

The priest concludes the prayers:
O God, the creator of life and author of every good thing, be merciful to those who transgress your laws, enlighten their minds to the error of their ways, and give them the humility to acknowledge their fault. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
